the country better rates obtained by the
railroads than over the North western lines. If

charges and insurance, the question naturally
suggests itself, why should it cost that rate, or
even more. to transport wheat. say from Fargo,
Dakota, to Chicago. barely one-sixth the dis
tance and risk than from the latter place TO Liv-
erpool The freight rate per mile for transport
ing wheat from Chicago TO the Atlantic seaports
is less than oue-half the rate from Minneapolis
to Chicago and this latter high as it may seem,
is less than one-half the rate per mile that 1t is
from Fargo to Minneapolis or Duluth. If rail
roads east of Chicago can afford to transport
grain at less than one-fourth the rate per mile
that it is transported west of Minneapolis, there
is good reason why there should not be re-
duction or freight rates ir the Northwest.

The Burned Coal Breakers.

Investigation has thrown ALT lie light on
the origin of the fire at Coke Brothers &
Co.. Drifton coal breaker. Beneath the
base Of the plane where the fire began II
has always been the habit Of the workmen
to throw their cotton waste, saturated with
oil. Men were at work at this point late
Friday night repairing the large car that is
used to hoist the coal from the mine to the
top of the breaker, and the supposition
now is that a spark fIom one of their
lamps fell OH this oily waste, smouldered
there for hours, and finally was famed in
to blaze, which quickly spread to the
surrounding woodwork. This theory is
now generally accepted, but some contend
that it would not even have been necessary
to have set fire 10 this oily waste by a
spark from naked lamp, as twice during
the past year has this waste been discovered
on fire at points in the machine shops,
where it could not possibly have en- reach.
ed by spark.
There is, without doubt. much better
feeling to-day among all classes, and the
theory of incendiarism is scarcely received
anywhere.
